Western Media wanted you to believe that The “Islamic State” (previously known as “ISIS”, a group that emerged after the US invasion of Iraq) claimed responsability for the attack on Crocus City Hall on Telegram (No evidence provided)
The western media immediately pushed the idea that the Islamic State is behind the attack, and not Ukraine. Distraction is key. Talking heads choke on their lies these days …
“ISIS” has claimed responsibility for an attack at a popular concert venue complex near Moscow Friday that left at least 40 dead and more than 100 wounded after assailants stormed the venue with guns and incendiary devices.
The terror group took responsibility for the attack in a short statement published by ISIS-affiliated news agency Amaq on Telegram on Friday. The group did not provide evidence to support the claim.
"A security source told Amaq Agency: Islamic State fighters attacked a large gathering of Christians in the city of Krasnogorsk on the outskirts of the Russian capital, Moscow, killing and wounding hundreds and causing great destruction to the place before they withdrew to their bases safely."
The terrorists, which are suspected to be from Tajikistan, were trying to flee to Ukraine (or Belarus).

On March 7, the US Embassy in the Russian Federation had warned US citizens to avoid gatherings because of an imminent threat
Security Alert: Avoid Large Gatherings over the Next 48 Hours
The Embassy is monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts, and U.S. citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours.
Actions to Take:
Avoid crowds.
Monitor local media for updates.
Be aware of your surroundings.
The US and British Embassies knew.
"On March 7, the US Embassy cautioned its citizens against visiting shopping centers. Then the British and some others did the same. This means that their intelligence services wiretapped certain conversations, got information and knew that something would happen," Serbian President Aleksanda Vucic told the Prva TV channel.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on television that Friday's terrorist attack in Moscow is similar to the modus operandi of one world power, but not the United States, without naming the country in question.
Scott Ritter: this “does not look like ISIS' Handiwork”
Pointing out the fact that the terrorists were apprehended while fleeing towards Ukraine, Ritter remarked how “people of violence” have a tendency to “navigate towards their ‘true north’” at the end of the day.
“But that's not what these terrorists did,” he continued. “Their true north was Ukraine, and they were navigating toward Ukraine. And that's all we need to know about this. This was an attack that was linked to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Who was behind this attack? Who are the masterminds? The Russian security services will find out. But whoever they are, they reside in Ukraine.”
Russian Colonel Igor Salikov questions the lack of security
Russian military intelligence GRU Colonel Igor Salikov who claimed he witnessed "atrocities against civilians" questions how the culprits were able to enter the venue in the first place.
According to information from Russian sources, police and security services vanished from the venue around 7pm, before the masked gunmen stormed the building.
Colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon emphasizes the ease with which the gunmen entered the building and notes that usually, Russian security is "absolutely watertight."
He said: "It just seems too much of a setup for four people to wander in there and kill 137 people - it’s almost too perfect, it doesn’t smell right."
